C++ as a Traditional Programming Language

Unlike many high-level languages, C++ is case sensitive. Similar to many modern high-level languages, C++ is space blind (with two or three exceptions). It uses end-of-line comments but does not use nested block comments.

Similar to most other programming languages, C++ provides basic built-in data types with operations over the values of these types. The C++ built-in data types are rather limited—just simple integers and floating point values.
